I've been in a few games with higher ranked players and I see a trend that's either disturbing or brilliant....
If you care to follow along here are two games:

http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?gam ... full_log=Y
These players will use their re-enforcement or deployments to place their units either 1 by 1 or in small groups. Is this to hide their true numbers or is this some sort of automation script (ie: a bot) looping through troop placement until a predetermined number resides in certain key points based on some algorithm? (as a programmer, it looks fishy to me...)
Since you don't have a "spoiler" tag, I'm not going to cut and paste the whole log but here's an example:

If you followed along, you can see that he starts out placing units in Clinton 05, then changes territories to another area, fills those 1 by 1, then switches back. Also, if you know that you are going to put your next 15 units in Imp Guard 02, why not do it all at one time instead of 1 at a time? The drop down box on the page makes this a tedious task if done manually. The times are spread out (and randomized) but I can tell you that it wouldn't be hard to mimic this in a script if you were trying to hide it.
So can anyone give me clarification as to why someone would purposefully do this?
